Putin is a master troll: "If you want the gas to flow, all you have to do is push one button

From Pravda:

If European countries want to cope with the energy crisis, then they should lift sanctions from the Russian Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, Vladimir Putin believes.

Russia is not the cause of the energy crisis in Europe. In order to overcome it, European countries can, in particular, lift sanctions from the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, President Vladimir Putin said at a press conference following the SCO summit.

“In the end, if it gets too hard, if everything gets so difficult, go and lift the sanctions from Nord Stream 2. Fifty-five billion cubic meters per year - just press the button, and it will flow,” the Russian president said.

“The energy crisis in Europe did not begin with the start of the special military operation in Ukraine. It started with the green agenda,” Putin said.

My comment; Even if it is just theater, Putin is stating the facts. Europe is causing the gas crisis, not Tussia. It is not a good idea to “fight a war” against Russia by putting in place sanctions that will cause Russia to play it’s hand. Europe will suffer more from the sanctions than Russia will.

So stupid. People I know in the energy sector bragged about how the Russians were too stupid to be able to operate the distilleries and drilling operations when they all left in February. Fooled them. I have been wanting to poke them in the eye for their arrogance as this is what has caused the whole bloody mess in the first place! Western chauvinism/arrogance.

They’d all go back tomorrow if the sanctions were lifted to resume their chase of the almighty $.

But here is the “thing”. It doesn’t always have to be “them”. As CAF has been saying for the past (gees, at least since 2010 when I met her), it is up to US!. We really don’t have to watch this from our computers.
